Q wARDRoBE-HANGER.

Be it known that 1,VrcToR CLARK-,fa citizen'of vthe United States, residing vat Grand Rapids, in the county of .Kentand State of Michigan, have invented certain'. new and useful Improvements in Wardrobe-- Hangers; and I do hereby Ideclare the following to be a full, clear', andexact description of the invention, such as will enab e others skilled in theart to which it'apper- My invention relates to improvements in wardrobe-hangers; and itsobject is to provide a ,device for supporting the clothingl or other articles' in a Wardrobe, said device being extensiblel to-carry the articles supported thereon outside the wardrobe and to provide the same .with various new and useful features, hereinafter more fully described, and

yparticularly pointed out in the claims.

. My device consists, essentially, of a lazytongs structure attached at one end to thev back of a wardrobe and movably supporting a bar having hooks upon which the articles may be suspended, as will more fully appear by reference'to the accompanying drawings,

in which- Figure 1 is aside elevation of a device emb odying my invention, shown in extended position Fig. 2, the same shown in retracted position; Fig. 3, a plan viewof the same in the position shown' in Fig.v 1; Fig. 4, an enlarged sectional detail on the line 4` 4 of Fig. 1. Like numbers refer to like parts in all of the iigures. v i

1 represents the back of a wardrobe' or other convenient su ort' 2 and 3 angleirons forming brackets attached to thesupport 1 and spaced apart to pivotally support a vertically-arranged post 4, rotative on a vertical axis in said brackets, on which post are mounted clips 5 and 6,- the clip 5 bei-ng fixed near the upper end of the post by'means' of a in 14. The clip 6 is slidable on the post and imited in Aits upward movement by a pin? to limit the extension of the lazy-tongs.

8 is a lazy-tongs structure, the inner members of which are pivoted to the clips 5`and 6. Saidstructure extends horizontally and supports at its outer end a bar 9, which bar is pivoted to'one member of the lazy-tongs, as at 12, and extendsoppositely and horizontally therefrom. The inner end of this bar slidably engages the pivot-pins 14, which Specification of Letterslatent. I Applications@ April 21.1906. seria No. 313,038.

tion and `carried longitudinally by the movement ofthe lazy-tongs.

The members of the lazy-tongs structure are preferably-spaced apartl to permit the inner end of the bar 9 to pass therebetween and engage the under side of the middle portion of thepivot-pins, which pins are shouldered to forni-an' enlarged middle portion, as illustrated in Fig. 4;

AWhen extended, the bar 9 is carried a considerable vdistance outward from the post 4, and when retracted the bar runs under all of the upper ivots-14 and withits-inner end close to sai post, so that this-bar will bewithin a wardrobe when retracted and will be carried by the lazy-tongs outside of said wardpend articles of clothing from this device,

hooks 10` are attached to the bar 9 and hooks ,robe when the device is extended. To sus- Wholly outside vthe wardrobe and the articles y on the hooks A11 will be suficiently spaced apart to be easily detached therefrom.

The device also swings on the vertical axis" of the post 4, which movement is convenient whenattaching articles to the hooks or removing the same therefrom. 7 What I claim is- 1. A wardrobe-support comprising a lazytongs structure, means for attaching one end of tlie same to a support, a bar extending horizontally outwardy from the lazy-tongs and pivotally attached to one member of the lazy-tongs and'also slidablyengaging another member of the same, and means for suspending articles by the bar.

2. A wardrobe-support, comprising a ve*- tical post, a clip fixed on the post, a clip slidable on the post, a lazy-tongs structure pivotalllyT attached to the clips and rotative' about the axis of the post, a bar extending horizontally outward from the lazy-tongs,y and pivoted to one member of the lazy-tongs' and also slidably engaging another member'.

of the same, and means for suspending articles from the bar.

3. A wardrobe-support, comprising a lazy- IOS tongs structurehaving its members spaced apart, shouldered pivot-pins eonneoting said members, means for attaching one end of said structure to a support, a bar ypivoted to one of the outer members of the lazy-tongs tally-disposed,bary pivoted to the upper end ofthe outer member of said structure and outwardly eiitended therefrom-7 the other end of said bar being inwardly extended and sliding between the said members and also engaging the under side of the upper pivotins.

5. In a Wardrobe-support, brackets a apted to be attached to a support, a vertical postv supportedby-lthe brackets, a" oli the upper end of the post,l a clip s dable on the lower end of thepostya stop engaging the slidable clip, a lazy-tongs structure pivoted to said clips and having its members spaced.-

apart, shouldered pivot-pins connecting said members, .abar pivoted toy the outer member therefrom, and also having themner end eX- tended between the lazy-tongs member and engaging said pivot-pin, and hooks on said bar. E
